character on the silver screen over 70
years ago and her charm and sweetness

era of filmmaking as a fiercely brave
character that is not afraid to take
charge and stand up for herself she
proved herself a strong female role
model for generations to come
number 8 Hannibal Lecter the Hannibal
Lecter franchise Lonnie you might not
expect a cannibalistic serial killer to
ever be acclaimed and respected but
Hannibal Lecter is just so mesmerizing
that audiences can’t help but love or at
least be intrigued by him a census taken
once time to test me I ate his liver
with some fava beans and a nice Chianti
most notably portrayed by Anthony
Hopkins on the big screen Hannibal is
the creepy and calculating murderer who
helps the FBI go after more important
Mad Men currently on the loose if I help
you Clarice it will be turns first to
quit Coco I tell you things you tell me
anything
originally portrayed as an antagonist
with limited screen time Hannibal
ultimately won over audiences to become
a fan favorite he is so good at being
bad that he was voted the number one
villain of all time by the American Film
Institute I do wish the good chatline
I’ve having an old friend for them
number seven Charles Foster Kane Citizen
Kane rosebud spouting one of the most
famous lines in cinema history and the
main character of what is generally
considered one of the greatest if not
the greatest film of all time Charles
Foster Kane can safely be regarded as
one of cinema’s finest characters I
don’t know how to run a newspaper mr.
fetch I just try everything I think how
do you know perfectly well there’s not
the slightest proof that this created
and portrayed by Orson Welles earning
him an Oscar nomination Kane is the rich
and esteemed owner of the New York
Inquirer I felt like a kid in front of a
candy store well tonight six years later
I got my candy all of it though he’s
portrayed as insanely powerful with a
megalomaniacal ego he is also deeply
flawed and human which makes him
relatable and sympathetic as well as
unforgettable throughout the ages number
six Norman Bates psycho we have 12
vacancies 12 cabins 12 vacancy day yeah
they moved away the highway psychos main
antagonist Norman Bates was loosely
inspired by real-life murderer Edie gain
so you know he’s gonna be trouble a
boy’s best friend is his mother a deeply
disturbed individual
Bates suffered extreme emotional abuse
as a child at the hands of his mother
which later caused him to kill innocent
people especially women he’s attracted
to she just goes a little mad sometimes
we all go a little mad sometimes not
only does he dress in his mother’s
clothing he also repeatedly stabs and
murders the patrons of his motel all
while talking to his deceased mother
Norma whose corpse he keeps in the
basement if that doesn’t make Norman one
of the most troubling and unsettling
characters in cinema history as well as
one of the most memorable then we don’t
know what does they’re probably watching

of a person I am not even gonna SWAT

a legendary character and insanely
popular during the silent film era the
Tramp was extraordinarily played by
Charlie Chaplin for decades all without

and body language as well as his facial
expressions induced everything from
belly laughs to tears of sorrow the
Tramp portrayed as a vagrant acts like a
gentleman
despite his social status and also
conjured not only strong emotions but
also intense social commentary a vastly
complex character that said so much
without saying anything at all the
Little Tramp will be remembered as one
of cinema’s highest achievements not
that he’d ever shut up to that T that
